Meetings are the most common formal communication practice in organizations
of any kind; as such, they are the most significant occasions for organizing. It is
the process of communication that organizes and thus constitutes organizations.
This study focuses on communication in management group meetings in a hospital organization. Even though meetings are an important part of information
and management systems in hospitals, research focusing on management
groups—or any kind of administrative meetings in hospital organizations—has
been scarce.
The aim of this doctoral dissertation is to describe the interaction structures in hospital management group meetings and to understand the meaning
of these meetings for management group members and for the hospital organization. This aim is achieved by analyzing interactions during management
meetings and by interviewing participants. The dataset consists of video recordings of ten management group meetings and of interviews with seven management group members. This naturalistic and qualitative study is comprised
of four empirical research articles. The theoretical framework draws from structuration theory, bona fide group perspective, and the communicative constitution of organizations (CCO) perspective.
The findings show that these meetings are focused on information sharing,
and that meeting interaction is not only focused on the chair but is dyadic—that
is, conducted between the chair and one participant at a time. Thus,
organizational structures appear to limit discussions during meetings. For the
participants, meetings are about making sense of the hospital organization,
positioning themselves as part of the hospital, and building a sense of
belonging. For the hospital, meetings are legitimized arenas for sharing
important information from the viewpoint of the hospital administration. These
meetings carry nonhuman agency because they make the participants act in
certain ways and because they make a significant difference in relation to many
key organizational processes. These findings emphasize the importance of
research focusing on naturalistic data.
